You get what you pay for with tires.
I generally get Michelin tires for my car, and they have been great so far. The Energy and Primacy series both have had excellent tread life, offered great all weather handling and were quiet. I cheaped out when i needed 2 tires in a pinch and got Toyo Tires and they are TERRIBLE. Very noisy and balance out poorly. DO NOT GET TOYO TIRES.
I also like BF Goodrich, Goodyear and Pirelli. Hankook, Fuzion or Kumho tires are good as well for the less pricey tire.

It is so very American to think we can get something for nothing, just like if we all work hard enough we will all be rich haha

92H is the code on the sidewall. A lot is said about the handling of tires on dry and wet pavement. There were a set of Yokohama's on this car before the Douglass ones, and quite frankly I don't notice any difference in the ride and handling, and the Yokohama's were much more expensive.
I believe too that in many cases you get what you pay for, but it's not a rule of thumb by which to make a decision by on everything you purchase IMHO.
